Fallin': Chapter 5- Letting the pieces fall into place
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, the basics of all these stories is the property of the AMAZING JK Rowling. :)
Hope you enjoy.
Scorpius's POV:
I awoke to the sun streaming into my room in thick ribbons. I was dazed and checked the clock hanging on the wall across from me that Jace had hung near his bed. It was only 8 AM. I sighed; everyone was gone from the room so I decided to head down to the common room to see if Rose was down there.
As I came down the stairs I laughed to myself as I noticed Rose sitting in a chair in front of the fire with her nose buried in a book. My father had said that Hermione had always been an avid reader and was never seen without a book, I guess she inherited that trait from her mother. I had always been a big reader as well, and being a Malfoy we had a huge library in our manor. I began planning in my mind a way to get Rose there to see it, I'm sure she would love it. First thing first though, I had to tell my father that I was making best friends (quickly) with the daughter of his childhood love.
I walked down and sat in the chair next to Rose staring at her to see how long it took her to notice. 10 minutes later and still no response from Rose I stood up and lightly tapped her on the shoulder causing her to jump and gasp. When she realized I had tapped her she jumped up and hugged me.
"Want to go grab breakfast?" Rose asked.
I shrugged. "Why not?"
The walk down to breakfast was a pleasant one. It was strange, those who knew who Rose was related to and who my father was (if they paid attention to the sorting ceremony) did double takes as the two of us passed by and several of her family members (all pretty recognizable from their flaming red hair) looked at her quizzically as to why she was walking with me.
Rose's POV:
As Scorpius and I began to eat I could feel the stares of the rest of my family from the Gryffindor table. I turned to look at them and Lily gave me a questioning look. This was going to be a fun explanation to everyone. I shrugged at her and turned back to enjoy the rest of my meal.
As breakfast came to an end, it was time to get our schedules for the term from our head of house. Classes didn't start until the following day so we had a full day to settle in and enjoy the crisp fall weather.
Scorpius and I decided it would be a good idea to walk around the grounds and explore a little. As we were told the previous night at dinner, the Forest was off limits so we walked down to the lake. The lake was gorgeous. The water was crystal blue and the late morning sun shone off of it making it shimmer. I could definitely get used to this school and it's beauty. Scorpius and I lay down on the grass to enjoy the warm sun and watch the clouds. Eventually Scorpius fell asleep so I lay my head on his chest to do the same. Hours passed and we finally awoke. I realized I still had my head on his chest and I sat up quickly knowing all too well that I would be blushing like crazy.
I didn't understand how I could already be falling for this guy. I was 11 for crying out loud. I smiled at Scorpius and apologized for falling asleep on him. He merely shook his head and shut his eyes again. I couldn't help but stare. This was going to be a difficult next few years, but I knew I had to let the pieces fall into place.
Sorry they've all been such short chapters. They should be getting longer from here out, just needed to have a little filler and some chapters for information and information only. Sorry this chapter sucked and sorry it's been so long. As the semester draws to a close I hope to have more time for writing. Thanks for your patience, please review! Be critical, I need it.
